LABOlASKSUSE OF MORE LOCAL P.1EN ONBRIDGES Claiming that few Salem laborers were employed In the construction of the South commercial street bridge, and endeavoring to head off a similar situation in the construc tion of the South Liberty and other bridges on the future program, the Building Trades council last night sent 8. P. Davidson to the city council meeting to plead their cause befoie the city officials. Davidson said he was not appear ing In an antagonistic spirit either toward the city council or the con. tractors. He cited the fact, how. . ever, that In the construction of thi South Commercial street bridge, the largest number of Salem men employed at one time was 12, and these for only a few days. He said further that the largest number of , Salem carpenters employed at one lime was eight, these also for only a few days. ..... As far as employment of organ tsed labor was concerned Davidson said the Job had the approval of the unions, but when the men received the checks Saturday noons, he said, : they Immediately left for their homes In Portland, while Salem re ceived no benefit from their pre' sence in the city. "It Is hardly fair," said David' on, "that local men should not have an opportunity to be employed on these Jobs, I can hardly blame the contractors for using men who have been faithful to them In the past, but something should be done to' change the situation. Either local firms exclusively should be asked to bid, or there should be, a clause In the contract specifying local labor. "I hope the condition will be dif ferent on the South Liberty street bridge. Indications are that build' nig is not going to be any too brisk this winter, so if they are not em' ployed at home our local men will rither have to leave their families and go elsewhere to work or the business men win have to carry them over until another season." Mayor Llvesley said that the con tractors had been requested to use Salem labor as far as possible. The work has been done in such highly satisfactory way," 1 the if ayor sold, "that I do not want to tee any deviation from policies, even If a continuation of this sat isfactory work necessitates employ ing men from elsewhere." While speaking the mayor men tioned the charge that defective sewer pipe had been constructed for the city, and said the charge would be investigated thoroughly. When the Big Show Comes to Town Tomorrow downs and acrobat, hones and elephants, flying ladles and aerial queens will be on tan tomorrow when me Bens flow circus comes nere for two performances at the Athletic park grounds, cesser, world s largest tiger will Bo on view in lu cirena menagerie, rnleen performing pachyderms take pars m the rrand soec- tacle which will start at t and p. ra.

Wintering alone, costs $140,000. Each day of the tour Imperatively de mands at least (8,000. The equip ment for this season's show could not be replaced under $8,000,000.

BOSTON PLAYS LARGE PART IN GIANT SCORES (Br Tlx aiMclatee rrtu) If John M cO raw wins Ma 11th National league pennant this year, (ne Boston Braves, themselves as sured of finishing no higher than seventh, can take a good share of the credit. - - Some of the most Important cogs in the New York Giant's machine came under McGraw's control after an apprenticeship at Boston. With out Larry Benton, Frank Hogan, Joe Oenewlch, Jim Welsh and Les Mann, it's a bit difficult to believe that McGraw, great manager though he Is, could drive the Giants Into the leadership of a league boasting as many strong aggregations does the national this year. All five oi tnese regulars or semi-regulars made the trip from Boston to New York during the past year or so.

Burleigh Grimes, ace of the Pittsburgh staff, was batted out of the box In the fifth Inning. In the American league, the Idle New York Yankees added another half game to their lead over Phila delphia when the Athletics bowed to the St. Louis Browns, 9 to 2. Howard Ehmke and Joe Bush were batted for 18 hits, Manush and OTtourke getting four apiece. Meanwhile Jack Ogden was setting the A's down with lour safeties.

Another Is at Cross street near 12th where a new bridge is to be constructed, and where the erection of several new houses recently will make street changes difficult. The acute angle which forms the turn from Highland avenue Into Fairgrounds road also has the eye of the department and some study is being made oi a pun to eliminate it.
